As someone who does the puzzle diligently every day of the week, I implore others to avoid getting hung up on the exact difficulty level of a “___day” puzzle. Better to enjoy each one just as it is, and look forward to the next as it comes!

I had very little completed on my first pass through, but kept whittling away and finally completed it with no look ups. I thank the Barenaked Ladies for a big assist (“like KUROSAWA I make mad films”)!!

Really a stretch on the theme design. I still didn’t see the name pieces until long after I completed the grid. But the grid itself was fun and entertaining!
